2025 Camera Showreel: https://www.clarejonesfilms.com/showreel

With over eight years’ experience as a Shooting AP and Shooting Director in unscripted factual, I bring a strong understanding of creative storytelling, forward planning, scripting and self-shooting. I’ve managed complex logistics across longform and fast-turnaround productions in the UK and set up more than 40 international shoots. As a camera operator, I’ve self-shot a wide range of content - from run-and-gun obs doc style to long-lens, gimbal, thermal, and drone (CAA qualified). I’m proficient in rigging and operating cameras including the Phantom FLEX 4K, RED Gemini, Sony FX6/9, A7Siii, FS7, and more. I take pride in delivering high-quality rushes that form the backbone of key sequences, and I thrive in fast-paced environments. I'm a fast-thinking problem solver when things change, and with experience in multiple genres and formats, I can quickly adapt tone, style, and pacing. I’ve solo-shot multiple sequences while managing camera, sound, and contributors/talent. I’m known for building strong relationships with presenters, contributors, and crew, and I'm happy to work independently shooting sequences with the edit in mind. 

Notable achievements include directing multiple international shoots for BBC landmark wildlife series and bringing groundbreaking scientific experiments to screen in a visually compelling way. Adept at fostering professional relationships with scientists and contributors to gain access to exclusive locations and directing talent on screen to bring out their best. Resourceful and a highly skilled problem solver, I'm diligent at forward planning and overseeing the logistics for complex and remote international shoots (multi-unit crews, heli, GSS). I pride myself on strong editorial judgment and experience working with diverse contributors to ensure stories are told with integrity.
